AIs can generate their own software. That is the point of AI.

Not exactly. AI learns from interactions which are not known to
those who write the AI
program.
...when we program them specifically to 'learn' in the the exact

which we want them to.
They can learn by higher level program modifications too, and those
can also be random.
So there is no evidence that their learning is qualitatively
different from yours.
There is no such thing as evidence when it comes to qualitative
phenomenology. You don't need evidence to infer that a clock doesn't
know what time it is.
A clock has no self-referential ability.
You reason like that: no animals can fly, because pigs cannot fly.
